Good trailer. I am definitely interested! I would like to point out though, that if they were using nonlead ammunition instead of lead core with a copper jacket then the bullets would have smooshed upon impact and maximized energy transfer, knocking the hottie android around and causing more damage than a scratch. Cracks and dents, at least.
Hunt with nonlead.

I'm sure there's a story behind it. There's thirty years of pen and paper RPG of story that that 2 minute trailer is trying to evoke...

I was just plugging nonlead ammo. Really, it looks amazing. Thanks for sharing that trailer.

Environmentalists made us adopt bismuth for duck hunting... back when I was a hunter. as for the trailer. No problem I'm just really stupidly excited about 2015 and had to share my joy.

Well, yeah. Lead is toxic so who would want to feed it to their family? I don't know the ballistics of steel or bismuth shot, but for slugs and rifle rounds the ballistics are comparable if you drop a grain when you buy nonlead. Once you sight in your firearm using your new ammo, you'll find that game is more likely to drop with one hit. The reason for this is lead ammo fractures and explodes inside an animal, losing a lot of kinetic energy, whereas nonlead mushrooms and transfers most of the kinetic energy into the animal itself. The result is game dropped with lead is more likely to be bloodshot and inedible (in addition to having bits of lead up to 24" from entry), and game dropped with nonlead is more likely to have broken bones and more intact meat.

Here are a couple pictures pulled from the NPS Pinnacles site that show the ballistics of lead vs nonlead rifle rounds. Just looking at these convinces me that when I need to take down an armored battle droid, I will be shooting nonlead.

That's pretty cool, I haven't handloaded since nursing school started eating up all my time and money (about 15 years ago) so it seems a lot has changed.

check out CD projekt Red's planned collaboration with the creator of the Iconic Cyberpunk Pen and Pencil RPG Cyberpunk 2013 (2020 was second edition.)

Cyberpunk will be a very big title to watch for no doubt about that. I loved the trailer myself as it had a very real Blade Runner meets Ghost in the Shell vibe. Not to mention the art style and graphics were awesome as well even if it was a CG trailer and not actual gameplay.

That out of the way.... Sadly this thread is sort of in the wrong place. So I am relocating it to the video games forums.

Edit: Sigh.... Even worse... After moving it I found that basically the same thread was started by Bedlam 6 days ago.
